IMPROVED WRINGING-MACHINE CYLINDER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 35,072, dated April 29,1962.

To a/ZZ Irhm/l/ lit may confient.-

Be it known that I, S. A. BAILEY, of New London, county of New London,and State of Gonneetic ut, have invented certain new and usefulImprmements in Cylinders for Triuging-Maehines; and I do hereby declarethat the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same,reference being had to the aeeompanying drawing, and to the letters ofreference marked thereon.

In the annexed thawing, makin g part of this specification, A representsa metal shaft', which is provided near one end with a circular metallicplate, D, and near the other with a cog-wheel, D.

u. d represent metallic rods which pass through, and which are securedin the plate D at one end and in the cog-wheel at their other. Theserods may be four or more in number.

B represents an indi a-rubber cylinder,whieh is hollow and which passeson over the rods, as shown in the figure. The rubber B is put ou verytie-ht, so that the rods press or embed themselves in it, as seen. Thegreat difficulty with the cylinders of wriligging-machines when coveredwith rubber is that the rubber cannot be kept in place, but will turnupon the shaft, and thus fail to answer the purpose for which it isdesigned, and then the rubber turning will rapidly break and wear out.The use of the rods ce Cain this manner obviates this diliculty andsecurely stations the rubber in its proper place.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The employment of the rods czl a a a', in co1n bination with the shaft Aand rubber cylinder B, for the purpose of securing the rubber andpreventing it from turning during the operation of wringing, as isherein fully set forth.

S. A. BAILEY.
